Firstly, my heart goes out to Greece. There are no words.
The worst wild fires Greece has ever seen killing almost 80 people. At the
moment, it’s said that they think the fires were started by evil arsonists. If
so, I hope these people or that person lives a very long life but every single
second of their long life is excruciatingly painful full of guilt. Especially
as on our news tonight a family were found parents hugging their children. All
dead.
Hub and I have had so much grief and pain in our past, but
thankfully now we have times like today when we realise how lucky we are. Hub
had an experience he won’t ever forget.
Today was the day our
Son took us to the air field. It was a very long drive and once we got there,
the weather was perfect. Some clouds. Hub kept talking about thermals…. I told
him he wouldn’t be that cold up there… He laughed and said he hopes he will fly
through them…
And he did. He also went almost 3000 feet high.
He had to wear a very attractive snow suit. Well that is
what it looked like. It was or is, black with pink. Haha. He was asked if he
needed the toilet, but he was fine, where as Boy Wonder, he went…
He wasn’t flying, it was only Hub.
The man pilot, was fantastic, he described everything to
Hub. He showed him the microlite how it works etc. once they took off, BW and
myself went to sit on a picnic set. Table and benches. We drank some lovely
cool juice we brought and enjoyed the sun. it was such a lovely place, it was
so quiet and peaceful and there was no sign of traffic for ever. It was odd
though as there were no birds at all either.
They’re not daft.
They keep well away from those flying machines.
Thankfully Hub landed safe and more than well.
Oh, it’s ten in the evening and he’s still talking about it.
He said it was the best experience of his life. he wanted to do it again. Our Son
was so happy that he got him that as a gift. The pilot let him fly it as in
navigate. They went as close to the thermals as possible. Hub said it was wet
really wonderful. Not like rain, just all the air was wet. They flew over the
sea and sands. He let him go weightless for about three seconds. I have never
seen my love so thrilled about an experience he has ever had before.
Tomorrow we are off on a forest walk with a friend. And the
same person is driving us to the beach on Thursday.
The weather is going
to be lovely all week. And, this is England.
So just before bed. I’m grateful for the fun
Hub has had today but so sad for those people who have lost love ones in Greece.
If the fire was started by someone deliberately, to that
person, those people, I’m sure you will be found out, but in the meanwhile, may
you lay your head down on your pillow tonight and fall asleep fast, nice and
quick so you get to the start of your nightmares without waisting a second.
